Description
this is basically enhancing hotfix #75 for issue #74
We could either include the newlines from the main window and have line wrap ugliness in normal use, live with this, or add logic to try detecting a new chat message and add a newline conditionally.

Research direction
Read issue #74 and hotfix #75 first to understand the current chat-buffer display and existing workaround. Then trace the Mudlet Lua code that formats chat buffers. Done means the display improves on the hotfix without introducing unwanted line wrapping, with the intended newline behavior confirmed against the issue discussion.
